Wet scrubbing combined with ozone oxidation has become a promising technology for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx in exhaust gas. In this paper, a new 20-species, 76-step detailed kinetic mechanism was proposed between O3 and NOx. The concentration of N2O5 was measured using an in-situ IR spectrometer. The numerical evaluation results kept good pace with both the public experiment results a...

Title of Document: AIR POLLUTANT CONCENTRATIONS AND TRENDS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AND CHINA: AIRCRAFT MEASUREMENTS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS Hao He, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor Russell R. Dickerson Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science In the last several decades, efforts have been made to mitigate air pollution all around the world. With surface observations showin...

The effects of SO2 and NH3 on secondary organic aerosol formation have rarely been investigated together, while the interactive effects between inorganic and organic species under highly complex pollution conditions remain uncertain. Here we studied the effects of SO2 and NH3 on secondary aerosol formation in the photooxidation system of toluene/NOx in the presence or absence of Al2O3 seed aero...

We perform the first long-term (>1 year) continuous adjoint simulations with a global atmospheric chemistryetransport model focusing on population exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and associated risk of early death. Sensitivities relevant to intercontinental and high-altitude PM pollution are calculated with particular application to aircraft emissions. Specifically, the sensitivitie...

Currently there are still many power plants using fossil fuels, including oil, gas and coal to produce electricity. The problem recently received by developing countries, Indonesia, is environmental degradation due CO, SO2 NOx emissions. Co-burning of biomass with in most countries one the economical technologies available today for significant pollutant reduction. This study tested combined co...
